Wax apple fruit is brightly colored and refreshing in taste, with extremely high edible value and commercial value. Its price on the market is high and it can bring fruit growers extremely high economic returns. When planting, in order to increase the sweetness of the fruit, improve the glossiness of the fruit's appearance, and increase yield, fruit growers mostly bag the fruit, so when is bagging carried out? How should it be done? Let's learn about it together.
1. Bagging time
The choice of bagging time is extremely critical. It should be chosen before the rainy season arrives to prevent disease infestation, while also avoiding high-temperature weather so as not to cause sunscald to the fruit. It is also necessary to avoid weather that is hot after rain or clears up after rain, otherwise the sunscald phenomenon will be even more serious. For this kind of weather, bagging should be carried out after 2-3 days so the fruit can adapt. Generally, it is done half a month after fruit set. At this time the fruit is only as big as a bean, and bagging can be carried out after fruit thinning. Bagging should be done quickly, and after the sterilizing spray has dried, bagging should be completed as much as possible.
2. Choice of bag
Because the climate, varieties, plant growth conditions and economic strength of fruit growers differ slightly among regions, the choice of bag also differs. Generally, fruit growers choose ordinary paper bags. This kind of bag has certain defects in daily management, coloring and picking, will cause a certain loss of resources, and is extremely easily damaged when bagging in cloudy and rainy weather. Also, because its price is relatively low, it may cause the fruit to be infected with diseases. The new type of sunlight wax apple bag is transparent, so during management the growth condition of the wax apple can be seen at a glance, and its air permeability and light transmittance can effectively reduce unnecessary losses. The specific choice is determined by the economic strength of the fruit grower.
3. Operation method
Before bagging, place the fruit bag in a damp place so that it naturally absorbs moisture and becomes supple, making bagging easier. After selecting the young ear, remove the debris on the ear, taking care not to damage the young ear, then support it with the left hand, use the right hand to open the bag so that it is puffed up and full, then put it upward over the fruit cluster with the bag opening facing up. The fruit should not directly touch the bag surface, so as to avoid sunscald, then tie the bag opening tightly. At this time the young ear is in the central part of the bag and is still suspended. The bag opening must be tied tightly, so as to prevent pests from entering the bag through the gaps and harming the fruit, and it may also be blown away directly by the wind.
